Armed with dual 57mm Naval Bofors cannon taken from the Ivakan M/50 Ship, mounted on a single turret light tank, It fires APHE, HEAT (Used for self defence whilst getting away quickly), and some other shells n stuff, It can travel a speed of 50mph, Which is pretty fast for a Light tank armed with two naval cannons, the LT weighs 12t in total :)
It can sustain high jumps or drops whilst still operating normally as before the event, It houses a crew of 2, one a Driver, the other a Gunner, the driver moves the tank and fires a 12.7mm Minimum simultaneously whilst sitting in the front right portion of the tank, The gunner sits on the back left part and man's the turret, there's a total of 9 Rounds, But can be maximised to 22, it can lay suppressive fire and can support Infantry units! It's quite light and can be airdropped from heights of upto 260m but this model doesn't have the air drop equipment. Pretty decent overall!
Credit to pilotmario for the torsion bars!

O SWEET ONE @JakeTheDogg
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Yey. Now that idiot Cuba won't attack me... and @DankDorito can send me oil!!
@PyrusEnderhunter ok
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Can I join MDP?
@PyrusEnderhunter Sure... not sure how it will go down with the Rest of MDP Hunting your few lands...
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Can u gaurd me land?
@Pilotmario actually.. NEVERMIND
@Pilotmario what may be the limit of your so-called "sufficiency"
@PyrusEnderhunter You're asking the guy who orchestrated the taking of your land to guard it.
I see the irony.
I shall guard it as I see sufficient.
@Pilotmario cause I'll be busy.
@Pilotmario can u guard my land plz? XD
@Pilotmario Thanks! 😉
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation It has 25.4mm of steel armor all around it.
Also, 22 rounds of 57mm ammunition is pathetic. The M21A1 can carry 25 rounds of 90mm ammunition.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Thanks! You're at 23.0k! So close to platinum!
@Pilotmario hey congrats on 70k yo!
I suggest using armored cars for suppressing internal conflicts. It has a less threatening appearance. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Pilotmario regardless we'll still use this for suppressing any internal conflicts until further upgrades.
@Pilotmario the Beagle has more armour I assume due to advanced research into such a field, Whilst it may be better we're already looking forward to purchasing some AFV's anytime soon.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Tankette = useless.
I have armored cars with more firepower than this, notably my M21A1 Beagle. The M21A1 Beagle weighs 10 tons, has fully independent 4x4 transmission, is amphibious, and has a 90mm cannon. It's also cheaper. And when I mean cheaper, I mean brand-new, out-of-the-factory, cheaper.
The M21A1 Beagle is why we don't really use light tanks. Because both light tanks and heavy armored cars both have the same armor (quite thin), firepower (passable), and weight (pretty light for something with armor). However, an armored car is faster on roads, easier to maneuver in urban terrain (since cities are designed around the use of wheeled vehicles), more fuel efficient, and easier to maintain.
While it is easier to puncture a tire than to knock off a track, a deflated tire is far more capable of continuing operation, especially if it is a run-flat type. However, a caterpillar track must be repaired, a time-consuming and laborious process.
Also, you're running this in a desert. In a desert, wheeled vehicles have similar mobility to tracked vehicles, yet are cheaper and more economical to run. I suggest divesting in tanks and investing in wheeled vehicles.
This doesn't mean that you should give up on tanks; tracked vehicles can be made heavier and feature greater armor and firepower without sacrificing too much mobility, which is undeniably useful. In urban environments, careful deployment can counter the inferior urban mobility of tanks, and using tanks confers both tactical and psychological influence on both friendly and hostile troops. In addition, tracked vehicles have superior off-road mobility than wheeled vehicles. Thus, lighter tracked support vehicles may be useful in support of tank operations, as both machines can pretty much go the same places.
@Pilotmario Ripperoni hull MG can be removed and a thicker steel plate with the same thickness of the frontal ones can be slid in place, it has a two man crew because it evolved from a Tankette, Which i will make off of it soon. Hull MG is tightly snuck in when in RP, couldn't replicate that :( but it's somewhat like the Polish TKS.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation 1) Hull machine gun is in open port and weakspot. 2) 57mm gun isn't very useful against heavier fortifications and is very heavy with autoloader. 3) Two-man crew; it is generally accepted that a minimum of a three-man crew is needed if there is an automatic feed, and that a hull-machine gunner requires a separate crewmember. 4) It has a hull machine gun. Most tanks by now have dispensed with it as it compromises the integrity of the frontal armor.
@Pilotmario fine, ahead you may go.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation But how can you improve if there is no criticism?
@PyrusEnderhunter lolk
DIE PLANES! DIE TROOPS!..... DIE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! 😈
